Ratings and reviews

It's good, I've been using Ibispaint for years and even had a subscription for a time till getting the paid version. My only complaint about the app is being able to select certain artworks (more than 1) and share them with PS, CSP, or other art programs all at once. It'll make life easier to do and not too much of a hassle to share 1 artwork to CSP cloud, wait, share, wait, and so on. If this were a feature, I'll use it more.

I started on the free version back in 2018 and I've loved it. But recently I've had problems with it. I tried to use a large canvas and it was a little laggy. Then, it started crashing and now I can't even open the piece without it crashing and I spent nearly four hours on it. Then I started an animation with a canvas of 654 x 654, much smaller than my usual canvases. And four hours in, the app crashed and corrupted the file and when I try to restore it, it crashes and can't restore it.

I've been using ibis paint for awhile, like since 2017 awhile, and it's a good drawing app, yes but.. it's basically a paywall just to have more than 12 artworks backed up. Literally today, I drew a new art. All of my artwork was saved but when I finished that drawing all of it wasn't able to save, I deleted a few wips I knew I never would get around to and if anything it said there was MORE space being used. I don't even know why, I've had way bigger drawings and many more and it never did it
